Amedeo designed and produced this adapter for CameraQuest.
Incredibly solid and well machined, it allows the use of classic Zeiss
Contax Rangefinder and Nikon Rangefinder external mount lenses on your
M43 camera. For newbies, said external mount lenses all have built
in focusing helicals and mount on the outer, external mount bayonet.
In other words, lenses like the Voigtlander SC lenses made for same
cameras. INFO HERE Please note
it does not mount most of the 50mm lenses for these cameras, with
internal mount bayonets.

The aperture log on the back of the FD Breech Mount lens
Must be rotated and locked to the left position as shown here.

Contax / Yashica lenses to Micro 4/3 Cameras Adapter $179

Nikon G Lens
Adapter by Rayqual to M43 $249 SALE $209

Works with both G and non G lenses. Adjust aperture
ring 0 to 7 on the adapter for G lenses. You will have to
experiment a bit with each lens to determine the aperture, but this
won't be much of a problem as the camera's meter works with Aperture
Priority or Manual. This is a precision quality adapter which fits and
works correctly with any M43 camera.

Canon FD Lens to Micro 4/3 Camera
Adapter Instructions

·You may mount the adapter on the Panasonic G1 and leave it on
the camera, interchanging Canon FD lenses – conveniently without removing
the adapter from the camera.

·Lenses requiring mirror lockup on various Canon film SLR bodies
likely will not mount on the M 4/3 adapter.

·Some Canon lenses are a LOT bigger than your G1 camera.
Properly support the lenses to avoid undue stress on the camera’s lens mount.
The weight of a heavy Canon telephoto can tear the lens mount off your G1!

·Mounting FD Bayonet Mount Lenses:

o1) Move the aperture to the widest F/stop

o2) Notice there are TWO index marks on the adapter: a
white-outlined triangle pointing towards the camera body and a solid white
triangle pointing towards the lens.

o3) 1st
Align the lens red dot index mark with the white outlined TRIANGULAR index mark
pointing towards the camera body. Do NOT try to engage the adapter with the
lens bayonet mount yet – that is the next step 4. The purpose of this initial
alignment is to engage the adapter’s pin BEHIND the lens aperture lever.

5) Now
rotate the lens in the opposite direction toward and past the white outlined
triangle pointing towards the camera body until it locks into place.

6) To remove the lens, press down
on the lens release and rotate the lens back towards the SOLID white triangular
index mark.

·Mounting FD Breech Mount Lenses:

o1) Move the aperture ring to any f/stop, but not the A or O
setting

o2) Make sure the largest aperture lug pin on the back of the lens
is pushed to the left position(this is the only pin on the back of your lens
which can be pushed back and forth)

o3) Align the indexing marks on the adapter and lens, rotate breech
mount to lock lens on to adapter

·Mounting FL Breech Mount Lenses: Align the mounting points
on the lens and adapter, turn lens mounting ring to lock lens on adapter, make
sure aperture switch is set to M so you have manual control of the aperture

·R Canonmatic Lenses: Will not mount. The Canonmatic R
lenses are the earliest Canon SLR lenses, made prior to the FL series.

·Mount your adapter on the G1 (with or without the lens) and set
the camera dial on the top plate to A for aperture priority

·Open the LCD panel on the back of the G1 and press the “Menu/Set”
button on the back of the camera

·On the far left frame of the LCD panel, go down to the 2nd
tier, the Custom Menu

·Now go to last Custom menu setting “SHOOT W/O LENS”

·The “SHOOT W/O LENS” MUST be ON -- otherwise the G1’s
viewfinder will be dark when you have the adapter mounted.

·Remember your Micro 4/3 works well with the first Micro 4/3 camera
to hit the market, the Panasonic Lumix G1. Future Micro 4/3 cameras may
or may not be compatible, depending upon their future design features.
